  2. Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.

  3. Now enjoyed this message. You have your Bibles turn to

  4. Matthew chapter 26. I want to talk to you about a

    Matthew 26 chapter mention

  5. king sword today, amen. Matthew He 6, verse 47.

  6. Matthew chapter 26, verse 47. It says this, it says a while he

    Matthew 26:47

  7. was still speaking behold. Judas.

  8. One of the twelve came up accompanied by a large crowd

  9. with swords and clubs who came from the chief priests and the

  10. Elders of the people. Now he who was betraying him

  11. gave them a sign saying, whomever I kiss, he is the one

  12. seizing. Immediately Judas went up to

  13. Jesus saying Hell Rabbi and kissed him.

  14. One translation says kissed him fervently.

  15. And Jesus said to him friend do what you have come to do, then

  16. they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized him behold.

  17. One of those who were with Jesus reached and Drew out his sword

  18. and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.

  19. Then Jesus said, put your sword back into its place for all

  20. those who take up the sword Shall Perish by the sword or do

  21. you think that I cannot appeal to my father and he will at once

  22. put at my disposal more than Twelve Legions of angels, how

  23. then will the scripture be fulfilled?

  24. Which says that, it must happen this way.

  25. At that time, Jesus said to the crowd, have you come out with

  26. swords and clubs to arrest me? As you would against a robber

  27. every day? I used to sit.

  28. Sit in the temple teaching. And you did not seize me, but,

  29. but all this has taken place to fulfill the scripture that of

  30. the prophets, then all the disciples left him and fled.

  31. Now, the question you may ask is why in the world, do they have

  32. swords in the first place? Well, in the Luca gospel

  33. account, prior to this meeting, they actually come up to Jesus.

  34. And Jesus is talking to them. And he actually tells Home to

  35. defend themselves. And it's actually found in Luke

    Luke 22:38

  36. chapter 22, verse 38. They said, Lord, look, here we

  37. have two swords and he says that is enough.

  38. Now the Lord never intended for them to have source to defend

  39. him. But he knew what was coming.

  40. And he knew that the scripture says they will strike because he

  41. told him at the time that they took the Lord's Supper.

  42. The Passover meal. He said, the scripture has said,

  43. they will strike the shepherd and the Sheep will scatter.

  44. He knew he would be betrayed and he knew a crowd was coming.

  45. Are you hearing me? And so he wanted his disciples

  46. in the event, they tried to grab them in the process. because it

  47. wasn't about them that they themselves could defend

  48. themselves but Peter Had a lapse in in the garden.

  49. I said Peter had a lapse. It's not like Peters.

  50. Not been here before. This state of mind, this type of

  51. opinion of how he wants to do something.

  52. In fact, if we go over to Matthew 16:21 just so you

    Matthew 16:21

  53. understand Peters thinking here. The disciple that pulls out the

  54. sword, he says, it's from that time.

  55. Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to

  56. Jerusalem and suffer, many things from the elders and chief

  57. priests and scribes and be killed.

  58. And be raised up on the third day.

  59. Sure. Wish Peter would have listened

  60. to that one. But Peter took him aside and

  61. began to what? He rebuked him saying God

  62. forbid. It Lord, this shall never happen

  63. to you. So what's Peter stance?

  64. I'm not going to let it happen. I'm not going to let it happen.

  65. I'm not going to let it happen. I'm not going to let it happen.

  66. And so when Jesus is saying they're going to strike the

  67. shepherd and the Sheep are going to be scattered, he says Peters,

  68. like, nah, I'm not going to deny you.

  69. I'm not going to scatter, I'm going to be right there.

  70. Member of Jesus says Peter before the rooster crows you

  71. going to deny me three times, son.

  72. He said, hey go ahead. But many gonna happen.

  73. No everybody else. In this room might get offended.

  74. Everybody else in this room might desert you, but not me.

  75. Not me Jesus. I'm ready for this deal.

  76. I got my sword. I'm ready to defend you.

  77. I'm ready to fight these people off.

  78. You're not gonna die. But what did Jesus think about

  79. that thinking? He says, but he turned and said

  80. to Peter, get behind me, Satan you are stumbling block to me

  81. for, come on. Are you hearing this for you?

  82. Set your mind. You're not setting your mind on

  83. God's interest, but, man, Jesus says, in this Matthew account,

  84. if you live by the sword, you die by the sword.

  85. Now, there's a natural side to this.

  86. When we look at the old, Covenant, says, that, if A man

  87. takes it into his own hands to kill somebody.

  88. Then guess what? They going to come after him

  89. that blood is going to keep talking until it's Avenged.

  90. Are you hearing me? So when a person lives by the

  91. sword or a violent person, violence is going to take them

  92. but the sword is not just a natural sword.

  93. And we're going to see this today because a lot of us are

  94. pulling out our swords and we're trying to hinder God's plan.

  95. For our lives. We're trying to fulfill the plan

  96. of God in our power. Jesus Will clearly communicate

  97. To Us by his Spirit, how we are to handle adversity, conflict

  98. situations. Yet many of us when we get, when

  99. that conflict shows up in fact, he'll even a lot of times for

  100. warned us. In fact, he has done this

  101. naturally because he's literally said in this life, you'll have

  102. Trials and tribulations correct in this life.

  103. So we all know a crowd of Something's coming something

  104. with swords and clubs. Something to try to arrest us,

  105. defeat us, conquer us. Overcome us is coming our way.

  106. Don't know when it's going to happen, potentially, but we know

  107. what's coming and when it does come, most of the time, God will

  108. have already trained. You through the preaching of the

  109. word of how to handle that situation.

  110. But we want to pull out our sword.

  111. And cut some things off. In essence, if you live by the

  112. flesh. You'll die by the flesh, you'll

  113. reap of the flesh corruption because God's ways.

  114. A lot of times when we get in Conflict, we don't sometimes

  115. realize how the attacks coming. So when it comes, it's a

  116. surprise. What I mean by that is we didn't

  117. imagine that would take place and sometimes that can throw us

  118. for a loop. It can put us in a position

  119. where we want to go to defense mode.

  120. Well, we want to defend ourselves.

  121. Okay. All right.

  122. Hallelujah. We're want to justify our

  123. positions instead of literally saying, okay.

  124. Lord will I do in this situation?

  125. What have you already told me? I said what are you already told

  126. me? Because I don't want to pull out

  127. my sword. I don't want to work it in my

  128. strength. I don't want to do it on my

  129. merits. Are you hearing what I'm saying?

  130. I want to do it according to how you said to do it because we

  131. know the scripture says that God Will defend us.

  132. He will vindicate us and to his plan shall come to pass that if

  133. we don't watch out, we'll pull out our sword and try to hinder

  134. God's actual plan for our lives. Now, how do you know whether

  135. you're wielding? Your sword are the Kings?

  136. Well, let's look at Hebrews Shepherd for in Hebrews 4:12.

    Hebrews 4:12

  137. Look at this, you all know it. But it says for the word of God

  138. is living And active. I can't wait till this thing

  139. gets out on YouTube. They like this guy's preaching

  140. with a sword. I remember doing a message down

  141. at the East Coast Camp and I talked about God's word is a

  142. sword. And, and so I pulled that thing

  143. out there was a bunch of teenagers and I was moving that

  144. it was a big sword. I didn't use my little dagger

  145. type sword. You understand, because again,

  146. when we read this passage, these guys didn't have these long huge

  147. swords, man, that they were carrying around.

  148. You understand is more applicable that they probably

  149. would have something a bit smaller.

  150. Are you hearing me that they would have tried to defend

  151. themselves with in that moment? When they found were found

  152. their, you know, but we always want the big, you know,

  153. Excalibur. Right?

  154. We want Goliath's sword, right? But Jesus and the apostles did

  155. not have Goliath's sword on them, okay, but with that being

  156. said, I was moving it around and somebody had sent it to somebody

  157. and they're like are the kids safe leather?

  158. Yeah, it does amazing, how people think, okay, for the word

  159. of God is living and active sharper than any two-edged.

  160. What is it? So this thing is sharper than a

  161. sword and piercing but it has the same effect and piercing as

  162. far as the division of Soul and Spirit both of joints and Marrow

  163. and able to, what judge the thoughts, and intentions of the

  164. heart did. King Jesus have a sword.

  165. I would submit to you when he was in the garden, he had a

  166. sword. in fact, he even used that sword Before Peter used his

  167. sword because if we read the gospel account, Of where and I

  168. don't remember which one it was specifically, but the Holy Ghost

  169. is reminding said, remember, one of the gospels said that when

  170. they asked who was Jesus, he said, I am.

  171. And when he said, I am the ones that were in the front worth

  172. blown to the ground. By the words that came out of

  173. it, they were struck down now not killed, but not down because

  174. of the power and the anointing that was on Jesus's life for him

  175. to fulfill this very moment this moment that he went to the

  176. father and was in prayer all the time in the garden saying Lord,

  177. if there's any other way for this thing to pass, let it pass

  178. but not my will your will be done and the Lord anointed him

  179. for that task. It was his defining Moment it

  180. was his opportunity so that we could all come into the kingdom

  181. and become Kings of the king. and when he spoke, they fell and

  182. then Peter Think about that they hit the ground and then Peters

  183. going to pull out when someone touches Jesus, I mean are we not

  184. in the same Garden right now? Jesus talks people fall, and in

  185. somebody going to touch him and you're gonna try to cut an ear

  186. off. Now, I happen to think that

  187. Peter probably was pretty good with a blade.

  188. Some people say, you know, this how bad he was, he only hit his

  189. here. Honestly, he was a fisherman, I

  190. bet he could fillet some fish. So I bet that he probably was a

  191. little more skillful than we want to say now.

  192. He didn't want to kill nobody but he sure did want to defend

  193. say you better get your hands off me.

  194. To get worse than this but Jesus is like you're not here.

  195. To do this. This action is trying to hinder

  196. the plan of God. and anytime we take up our own cause The midst

  197. of the battle thinking we're defending, Jesus.

  198. But in essence were only defending our own lives.

  199. Then we're actually thwarting or trying to hinder the plan of God

  200. for our lives. Specifically, Look what Jesus

  201. said in Matthew 10:34. I would submit to you.

    Matthew 10:34

  202. He has a sword. It says do you think this is

  203. Jesus? Now, if you have a red letter

  204. bible, you have this Jesus said this, he said, do you think that

  205. I came to bring peace on the Earth?

  206. This is in your Bible, I'm sure this is kind of shocking to

  207. some, right? Because again we're fixing to

  208. celebrate, you know, Christmas here pretty soon.

  209. And we know the angels singing peace on Earth Goodwill towards

  210. men. Well it is peace on Earth for

  211. those who are in the Kingdom. I mean, you have peace because

  212. you have peace in your heart. You've been giving the spirit of

  213. truth and the fruits of the spirit.

  214. Peace can rent met resonate in your life when you are doing

  215. God's word and his will, you're going to walk in perfect peace

  216. even in the midst of a storm. But Jesus said, don't think I

  217. came to bring peace. On the earth, I did not come to

  218. bring peace, but but but but a sword, this is important because

  219. this is why it's so important for us to rightly divide the

  220. word of truth because we can get off and just stay on certain

  221. aspects that God did only and not.

  222. Look at the totality of what he's done because we know then

  223. that Jesus obviously wants to bring peace in one sense.

  224. He is the prince of peace and that government there will be no

  225. end to the increase of his government or a piece Isaiah

  226. says, but you understand, he's establishing something.

  227. But at this point he's like, piece in its totality is not

  228. here. But the sword is now pieces for

  229. those who come into my kingdom, but those who aren't the sword.

  230. I said the sword. I said the sword.

  231. So Jesus came and brought a sword.

  232. We see here in second Thessalonians, Sky powerful.

  233. This sword is because I want you to understand, we need to take

  234. up the Kings sword. This is a powerful sword by

  235. which Jesus Christ has he says this then.

  236. That Lawless one. I'm talking to Second

    2 Thessalonians 2:8–10

  237. Thessalonians. Chapter 2, verse 8 to 10, then

  238. that Lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will

  239. slay. With the breath of his mouth and

  240. bring to an end by the appearance of his coming.

  241. That is the one whose coming is in accord, with the activity of

  242. Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders.

  243. And with all the deception of wickedness, for those who perish

  244. because they did not receive the love of the truth, as so, as to

  245. be saved. So notice, Jesus, when he

  246. returns. At the end of the tribulation.

  247. That he's going to talk. Words are going to go out of his

  248. mouth. And slay.

  249. Well, y'all doing all right man. I feel like we're just not

  250. getting this yet. I mean it's amazing how much

  251. faith we put in our natural strength.

  252. And we don't really realize what real power we can wield.

  253. I have come to the place in my life that I abandoned my natural

  254. way of doing things done. I refuse to pick that sort up.

  255. And try to do it on my own and try to figure this thing out.

  256. I refuse to do it because I possess a more powerful sword.

  257. Her hearing me one, that is true.

  258. Sure. And can judge one that has

  259. Justice and judgment. Are you hearing me Jesus?

  260. When Peter pulls out his sword, he says, son.

  261. Did I not tell you already? that this action is not of God,

  262. but of the devil, and I'm not going to stand for that, and if

  263. you keep responding, In your flesh to situations, even about

  264. God. You're not going to make it.

  265. You're not going to make it, you're gonna have to take up my

  266. sword. Because my sword is the only

  267. true sword. Because this sword, I mean,

  268. again right now in the planet. there's an enemy but yet the

  269. Lord When he returns with his mouth.

  270. You want to know the account. Let's go over to Revelations.

  271. Let's just go ahead and read it. How about this?

  272. Look at this Revelation. Let's just get this account.

  273. Look, what's going on with Jesus and his sword?

  274. All my gosh. Revelation 19:11 says this and I

    Revelation 19:11

  275. saw heaven opened and behold a white horse.

  276. And he who sat on it is called faithful that we just saying

  277. that and true and his righteousness and in

  278. righteousness, he judges and wages.

  279. War, his eyes are a flame of fire and his on.

  280. And on his head are many diadem's and he has a name

  281. written on him which no one knows except himself.

  282. He is clothed with a robe dipped in Blood and his name is called

  283. called the word of God and the armies which are in.

  284. Come on Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean were

  285. following him on white horses. Now, who are those people?

  286. Those are the Saints. I said, those are the Saints.

  287. That's the redeemed. That's the redeem.

  288. That's the redeem. That's the redeem.

  289. That's the redeem. That's the redeem.

  290. Are you hearing me? And it says, from his mouth.

  291. Comes a sharp sword. So that with it he may strike

  292. down the nation's and he will rule them with an iron with a

  293. rod of iron and he Treads the winepress of the fierce wrath of

  294. God, the almighty. When Jesus comes back again, he

  295. will not be a lamb, he will not be a suffering servant, he will

  296. be the reigning King and he will reign in power and rain.

  297. And Righteousness and reign in majesty and reign in glory and

  298. he will take back the planet. This is global domination.

  299. There's not a nation that exists on the planet that can stand

  300. before the King. Come on, there's not a niche, I

  301. don't care. What nations are rising in power

  302. today. I don't care how much armor they

  303. have. How many nuclear weapons, they

  304. have machine guns bullets, I don't care.

  305. How many satellites they have. I don't care how

  306. technologically. Ants.

  307. They are when my king shows up on a horse.

  308. What it shows up on a horse and he rides Out of Heaven back to

  309. the planet and they will come and wage war against him.

  310. He will say something. And from his mouth comes a sharp

  311. sword. So that he'll strike down the

  312. nation's and look what it says in verse 16 and on his robe.

  313. And on his thigh, he has a name written king of kings and Lord

  314. of lords, who are those kings? Who are those Lords?

  315. Well, Glory, that God, man. We're those kings.

  316. Where are those lures? Then it says this, then I saw an

  317. angel. Standing in the Sun and he cried

  318. out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in

  319. midheaven come assemble for the great supper of God.

  320. So that you may eat the Flesh of Kings and the Flesh of

  321. commanders and the Flesh of Mighty Men and the Flesh of

  322. horses and of those who sit on them and the Flesh of all men,

  323. both freemen and slaves, small and great, and I saw the Beast

  324. These are nations. Okay, these are kingdoms and I

  325. saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies

  326. assembled to make war against him.

  327. They actually think that they're going to bring all their weapon

  328. tree. You understand?

  329. They going to look a lot that's going to be just like, when

  330. David and Goliath took place, they gonna be assembled and are

  331. going almost be thinking, man. Are we had do, is it a my adult?

  332. They going to some guy is coming on a horse.

  333. A horse. We gonna smoke this man right

  334. here. Are you hearing me?

  335. I'm Eagle, I've had it all. He had the big shield with an

  336. armor Bearer. Who would stand in front to be

  337. at a take the blows. As he had a huge sword.

  338. He had a staff. I mean, this guy had been

  339. trained. He had everything about him.

  340. Says, nobody can defeat me. I have all the latest weapon.

  341. You're all gonna die and that's why nobody move in the

  342. Israelites. But but but there was a king.

  343. There was a king that showed up on the field.

  344. And the King had a sword. You don't even see.

  345. We at like David didn't have a sword but David did have a

  346. sword. David brought him some rocks for

  347. his sling because that was a natural weapon.

  348. But he had a sword. He says, you come to me with a

  349. sword, but I come to you in the name of the Lord, I come to you

  350. with the name of the Lord. And a sword without left his

  351. mouth and it calls the defenses of Goliath to be nothing.

  352. So that when he ran towards him with a little rock, it

  353. penetrated, his hand dropped him down, and he took the same

  354. weapon that he wanted to kill David and cut his head off, and

  355. he was the Victor. He was the Conqueror.

  356. Because David had a sword. They they didn't know about it

  357. was the sword of the word of the Lord.

  358. That sword went out and he declared, I'm going to kill you.

  359. And everybody behind you going to die, too.

  360. And the sword of the Lord went forth.

  361. I said the sword of the Lord went forth in judgment and

  362. because that went forth and judgment.

  363. It gave the power to the Covenant children of Israel that

  364. after David's killed the giant. The rest were empowered and they

  365. ran down. And in there with their natural

  366. source, it calls the defendant be the defenselessness of the

  367. Philistines and they routed them that day because of Sword had

  368. already been sent And the Beast was seized it says, and with

  369. him, the false prophet who performed the signs in his

  370. presence, by which he deceived those who receive the mark of

  371. the beast and those who worshiped the image, these two

  372. were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire, which burns with

  373. Brimstone. Look at verse 21 and the rest I

  374. said in the rest were killed with the sword, which came Came

  375. from the mouth of him. Who sat on the horse?

  376. He didn't he had to get off the horse.

  377. I mean, he rise up and he says something Come on.

  378. You understand? You just need to get this.

  379. You might as well go ahead and majan now because we're coming

  380. were coming with him. I said, we're coming with him,

  381. we're coming with him, we're coming with him.

  382. Here we go. We're coming and two keys gonna

  383. be in front, to keep on being back.

  384. We won't be in front of the king.

  385. The king will be leading us. And then he's gonna say, here's

  386. all my, here's my nation, here's my right, just one.

  387. Here's the one who has our rightful heirs to this planet.

  388. We're taking it back. We're taking it all back.

  389. Hallelujah. And all we got to do is Rod.

  390. I might have to take horse lessons horse-riding, lessons.

  391. Be honest with you. I might need to learn how to

  392. ride a horse. I don't know if it it just super

  393. naturally happened in my glorified body, because I've

  394. ridden a horse twice, and it was not good.

  395. I was about five years old, was on a horse with neighbors

  396. daughter. And we were, I mean, this horse

  397. had to be at least this tall seem like that at five and so we

  398. were riding through the little pasture and they were you know

  399. hole. Holding the reins of the horse

  400. and all of a sudden. The saddle started to slip and

  401. it slid off, we hit the ground and I lost my breath.

  402. She started crying, I couldn't do anything, but and when breath

  403. finally came, I went to cry on. But then I became a teenager, I

  404. got empowered, you know, teenagers, they can do anything.

  405. So I had a friend of mine that had this donkey really I mean,

  406. it probably one of the donkey, but it was some wild something.

  407. So anyway, so we went over to his house or where they were

  408. keeping this horse and bareback, obviously, the saddle can't come

  409. off if your bareback, right? No rain just hold onto the hair,

  410. the main, you know. So we're going seems to be doing

  411. fine. I was, you know, getting my

  412. confidence, you know, kind of trotting along little bit, you

  413. know. And as I was getting Back to

  414. where I was going to get off. I don't know what happened.

  415. I have no idea, but they decided to horse decided to Buck.

  416. Well, it'd have been nice to have a salad, right?

  417. Been nice to have one then because I have something to hold

  418. onto. I could have hooked up in there,

  419. right? I didn't have nothing.

  420. He kicked me off and fell into cactus plant.

  421. Yeah. So listen on that day.

  422. When we come, if I fall off the horse, don't you laugh at me?

  423. I'm working this thing. Just turn around.

  424. Put me back on my horse and Let me come and be with Jesus, okay?

  425. It's going to be all right, but he's coming.

  426. I said he's coming and he has a sword.

  427. I don't want to pull out the sword of Flesh.

  428. I want to work this thing in My Own Strength, my own power, my

  429. own way of doing, I don't want to try to manipulate God's word

  430. to try to fix my situation. I just want to hear from the

  431. King because the king Will's a sword.

  432. And if I'll pick up that sword and to do something amazing in

  433. my life, right? That's why I take it, Ephesians

    Ephesians 6 chapter mention

  434. chapter 6, and Ephesians chapter 6.

    Ephesians 6 chapter mention

  435. This is told about the Kings sword, the Kings sword, the

  436. Kings sword. He's the king of the king of the

  437. king of who are those kings, who are those kings?

  438. We are says finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of

  439. his might put on the full armor of God.

  440. So that you May be able to stand firm against the schemes of the

  441. devil member. This is the one with his mouth.

  442. Are you hearing me with his mouth?

  443. The one the Antichrist is do it. Everybody's so scared of the

  444. Antichrist. It's amazing.

  445. How many churches are all jacked up about the Antichrist?

  446. Big deal. Listen, this is not the

  447. dispensation of the devil. This is the dispensation of the

  448. Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost has been poured

  449. out. I mean, if you're afraid of the

  450. devil's because you listen to the devil more than you are the

  451. Holy Ghost. I mean, the Holy Ghost is has no

  452. intimidation when it comes to the devil.

  453. When he showed up for Jesus, I said when he showed up for

  454. Jesus, Jesus was without spot or wrinkle.

  455. He was blameless, never sinned, naturally.

  456. Meaning he was the son of God in flesh and all the way up to the

  457. Jordan River. He was a righteous man.

  458. Rightly dividing the word of Truth discovering himself in

  459. scripture, but then he got baptized.

  460. And when he got baptized and came up out of the water, the

  461. heavens opened and his father anointed him as king of the

  462. earth and said, this is my son. This is the anointed one.

  463. I said was coming by the prophet, Isaiah.

  464. This is the king and the Holy Spirit came.

  465. Mmmmm and fell upon him like a dove is he's not a dove but it

  466. was like, whatever. However they fly and before they

  467. land that's about what it looked like when the Holy Ghost came

  468. down and it said Jesus received the Holy Ghost without measure

  469. and the very next verse the Holy Ghost, now that's Upon Jesus and

  470. he's endued with power for Jesus himself, declared in Luke

    Luke 4 chapter mention

  471. chapter 4. He said, the spirit of the Lord

  472. is upon me for he has anointed me.

  473. Whoo, he's anointed me, he's anointed me what to go conquer.

  474. The captives. I'm gonna get them the blond.

  475. They gonna see, I'm on. I'm the deliverer, and the

  476. minute that Holy Spirit, he comes upon.

  477. He says, Jesus, let's go find the devil.

  478. Let's let him know you're in the planet.

  479. And it says he was led by the spirit Into the Wilderness to be

  480. tempted of the Devil. He's not intimidated.

  481. I said he's not intimidated. One bit.

  482. And are you a holy ghost filled believer?

  483. I said, are you a holy ghost filled believer?

  484. Then the schemes of the devil mean nothing to you.

  485. In fact, you're not ignorant of the devil's devices.

  486. The Bible says and you can stand against the schemes of the devil

  487. and no weapon formed against the church is going to prosper.

  488. I don't care what he throws at you.

  489. Amen. If you'll just wield, the sword

  490. of the king he says for our struggle is not against flesh

  491. and blood But against rulers against Powers against World,

  492. Force's of this Darkness against the spiritual forces of

  493. wickedness in Heavenly places. Now again you need to understand

  494. there's a term that runs around in the church spiritual warfare.

  495. Okay. Most of its off, most of us all,

  496. why cause most of us off because most of them are fighting to try

  497. to get a victory. That's the problem.

  498. You're trying to get a victory and that means you're already in

  499. defeat. Jesus has already gotten the

  500. victory, so when I deal with principalities and Powers, I'm

  501. reminding them, you're defeated. You don't have no power

  502. actually, and the power you think you have, I can actually

  503. bind it up. All I got to do is get

  504. authorization. I said, all I gotta do is get

  505. authorization. all I have to do is get authorization, because if

  506. I'll get authorization from the king of what to bond, How to

  507. speak, how to stand. Then it won't matter.

  508. Once mounted, now that doesn't mean you won't feel stuff that

  509. mean it won't be pressure. It won't feel like you're at War

  510. but you're not at War. What you are, is you're fighting

  511. the good fight of Faith. You're saying No this word is

  512. going to work know this word is going to work, know, this was

  513. going to come to pass know. This word is going to happen.

  514. And that's what you keep saying. You keep standing on.

  515. So he says, therefore take up the full armor of God so that

  516. you will be able to what. So the full armor is necessary

  517. to resist, Amen. Hallelujah.

  518. Now I was in the Army. All of our veterans.

  519. Would you stand, please? Let's honor our veterans.

  520. I was in the Army myself. Let's give it up for our

  521. veteran. Friday, was Veterans Day.

  522. We appreciate you. Thank you for your service.

  523. All that. You've done.

  524. Thank you. I know that we are a

  525. constitutional republic. We are not a democracy.

  526. The only Democratic aspect of our nation is we vote our

  527. leaders in. But there's a narrative right

  528. now that just says where democracy and it's infiltrating

  529. the minds of people and it's saying we have a government.

  530. We don't have And as long as they believe that and they

  531. continue to believe that then they'll throw out the

  532. Constitution which means then we'll lose the actual

  533. government. We actually have Okay, fine.

  534. Amen, with that being said there is a second amendment and the

  535. second amendment gives you the right to bear arms.

  536. Some of them, I wish they wouldn't.

  537. Now, why is that? Because they're foolish, you

  538. understand this. When I was in the Army, the Army

  539. did not give me my weapon first. Then I'll give me my weapon

  540. first. The Marines, did they give you

  541. your weapon First Navy? Navy.

  542. Where's my Navy? I Chris.

  543. Did they give you your weapon first?

  544. Okay, Air Force. I got a Air Force person.

  545. Yes. Oh, you're an Air Force to?

  546. Yeah, but you were in base. You didn't do basic there.

  547. You had to do it again. Okay.

  548. Did they give you a weapon first?

  549. No Coast Guard. Do I have a coast guard here?

  550. No. Well, I know cause my grandson's

  551. in the Coast Guard, they did not give him his weapon first now

  552. because my grandson has just what they do.

  553. What do I mean by that? See we have a second man.

  554. People go by the gun. they go get a weapon, they carrying

  555. knives guns, all this and that like, I remember I was talking

  556. to Pastor, there are Morgan who has done multiple competitions,

  557. shooting competitions, where you go into scenarios and you have

  558. to pull your weapon out, you know, and hit targets and stuff.

  559. He can draw. And and want one just right at

  560. just over a second or just under a second.

  561. He can get his gun out and fire it.

  562. Really quick now, you understand most people think they're that

  563. but they're really Barney Fife. The really Barney Fife.

  564. Right. Okay, they're really Barney Fife

  565. but we want to act like we're Halo.

  566. We're Call of Duty. Right.

  567. Yeah, now I'm tracking we're Call of Duty, right?

  568. You got your little glasses on. You're in a virtual world and

  569. you're killing electronic stuff. Right, that you get to start

  570. over. So, you know, when I was in they

  571. didn't give me my weapon first, they gave me a uniform.

  572. And then they gave me gear that I would have to wear when I had

  573. my weapon. Because the weapon and wasn't

  574. enough, I said it wasn't enough. Now you can have a weapon that

  575. can fend off an enemy, but you become liable to an enemy.

  576. If you don't have the rest of your uniform on, am I saying the

  577. truth guys? Right.

  578. So there's a helmet. I mean, they have vest.

  579. Now, I mean, either police officers.

  580. They don't go out without other armor on.

  581. Right yet as natural citizens and there's not wrong with you

  582. having a weapon. I have no problem with that, but

  583. don't act like you're prepared. If you've never shot your

  584. weapon, you're going to be surprised at how bad you are,

  585. because Call of Duty is not making you a better shot.

  586. That trigger and the trigger on whatever you're firing or 22,

  587. and all triggers are different. This is what's crazy.

  588. You could get one weapon down, great.

  589. And then pick up another one and you can't hit the broad side of

  590. a barn. But Pastor Daryl Morgan said, he

  591. said, when I go to these competitions, the worst Shooters

  592. are always the police officers. Because they don't allow them to

  593. train enough. They're the worst shooters.

  594. That's why these people that run away, they can run away, they

  595. can't get them. I mean, that's why they're

  596. unloading magazines that are like, they did a, well, I mean,

  597. it takes 15 to get one or more, right?

  598. Because, again, they're not accurate, they're not trained.

  599. A lot of them. and if you just have one on your counter and

  600. someone walks in your house and you think you're going to defend

  601. yourself It's highly probable, they'll take it from you and use

  602. it against you. All right, I'm preaching better

  603. you're saying but that's fine. The same thing happens in you

  604. wielding. The king sword.

  605. We've got to put on the full armor of God so that we are able

  606. to resist in the evil day and having done everything to stand

  607. firm, stand there for meaning. You just stand your not

  608. retreating and if the situation is still there, you still are

  609. the Victor. You're the one occupied.

  610. Are you hear me? He says, stand therefore, having

  611. girded your loins with. So if you don't have truth, I

  612. don't care if you have the rest. In fact, you're gonna have a

  613. hard time with the rest. If you don't actually have

  614. truth, all the rest are predicated on you having truth,

  615. then you've got to put on the breastplate of righteousness.

  616. Is it is your light armor jacket?

  617. Because the enemy hit one of his greatest weapons, that he sends

  618. down range is to try to tell you how unrighteous you are.

  619. And how unworthy, and that you're really not a foe and that

  620. he's way more powerful because he's been around a lot longer

  621. than you and he's just Received a lot more people than you have,

  622. then you are who you are, but when you know who you are

  623. righteousness, when you know, you to China to key and

  624. righteousness is God's way of doing.

  625. Well, if you don't have the truth, which is the word of God,

  626. then you won't know God's way of doing.

  627. So you won't even be protected because you don't even know what

  628. God's way is. Then you shit.

  629. You shot your feet with the preparation of the gospel of

  630. peace. Meaning, I'm not trying to be a

  631. bully When we go in as a nation and our in certain territories,

  632. we're not picking fights. We're letting them know.

  633. You don't want to come pick a fight.

  634. We would rather stay at peace and peace is, there's a way

  635. you're going to do this according to our policies, but

  636. if you violate that, we don't hold the sword for no reason.

  637. Now, you'll find out Romans chapter 13, that the righteous

    Romans 13 chapter mention

  638. government was given the sword by God.

  639. So that those who do evil would be afraid of the judgment.

  640. So he goes on in verse 16, in addition to all taking up the

  641. shield of faith. I'm, I'm just curious to know

  642. how many people have checked out because I ended up making so

  643. many analogies to the Second Amendment.

  644. Yeah. Yeah.

  645. Yeah, cause that's exactly what the devil wants to do is D arm

  646. you and he's doing a real good job.

  647. A lot of churches, the arming them, he's the arming them.

  648. He's taking their weapon. Because when the kingdom of

  649. darkness can give get you to forfeit your weapon, then you

  650. won't be able to defend yourself.

  651. Okay. In addition to all taking up the

  652. shield of faith. Now our faith is built on the

  653. word of God. So the word of God is in the

  654. truth. The Lord of God is in

  655. righteousness. The word of God is where we

  656. stand. So the, we're not being a bully,

  657. we are peacemakers. But if you come, you're going to

  658. have a fight. I said you're going to have a

  659. fight and then we go had to Shield of Faith up because when

  660. you start to shoot things down range, it's going to hit God's

  661. word. We are going to take every

  662. thought, captive, and line it up to the word of God.

  663. In addition, taking up the shield.

  664. Of Faith with, with which you are able to extinguish all, how

  665. many all of the flaming arrows of the evil one, and the evil

  666. one can only attack you in your mind.

  667. He has no right to your spirit but he will attack you in your

  668. soul realm and he will attack you.

  669. If you are not armed. Meaning, you don't have your

  670. armor on and the shield of faith.

  671. Is built by you. Because the more you have

  672. Revelation knowledge of the truth of God's word, you'll be

  673. able to have that dependent rate, what he's saying.

  674. So when it that the enemy Goliath before he even pulled

  675. out his natural sword, he was throwing arrows.

  676. A my dog. You going to send me a little

  677. stick. Well, how did David handle that?

  678. He had a shield up? A stick.

  679. Yeah, he thinks I'm a stick. I'm with the Covenant.

  680. King Ain't No stick. This stick fixing to beat him

  681. upside. His head is what the sticks

  682. fixing to do. It's a big stick actually, are

  683. you hearing me and then verse 17 and take up the helmet of

  684. salvation and and, The sword of the spirit.

  685. Now salvation is what gives us access to the sword?

  686. But many want to get out there with salvation and a sword.

  687. And if all you have is salvation and a sword, you're going to be

  688. defeated. And how many Believers have you

  689. heard been around that stalk, defeat?

  690. Talk about how the devil's winning, talk about how bad

  691. everything's in the world, talking about how rough

  692. everything is. And then they're trying to

  693. figure out how they're going to. Well, we're going to go and do

  694. this. We're going to take this, and

  695. we're going to, and they're trying to work everything out

  696. naturally using scripture, and they're getting defeated on

  697. every front. Didn't defeat it on every front.

  698. Why? Because I'm born again.

  699. I have the Holy Ghost, but they have no capacity on how to work

  700. the sword and they're vulnerable.

  701. I said they're vulnerable. Because the enemy does not want

  702. the sword to get to him. He doesn't because he knows what

  703. the sort of do. I said, he knows what he knows

  704. what's going to do, what it's going to do to him.

  705. Ultimately, are you hearing me? And so it goes on and says with

  706. all prayer and petition praying at all times.

  707. All right? Are the sword of the spirit

  708. which is the word of God. With all prayer and petition

  709. praying at all times in the spirit.

  710. And with this in view, be on alert with all perseverance and

  711. petition for all the saints and pray on my behalf that utterance

  712. may be given to me in the opening of my mouth.

  713. To make gnome with boldness, the mysteries of the Gospel.

  714. Now, why does Paul want his mouth to open?

  715. And we want to walk around with a Silent Witness.

  716. When there's a sword in our mouth.

  717. I said when there's a sword in our mouth.

  718. And our nation. The church is known as the

  719. silent majority. We don't talk a whole lot.

  720. We just vote. Well, we don't vote very good.

  721. And many don't even vote. And their prayers aren't working

  722. because they don't even know how to pray.

  723. Because they're not already a conqueror.

  724. They don't know who they are. And so, they grab a few

  725. scriptures. Try to get something to happen.

  726. And then when it doesn't, they say, well, I guess it wasn't the

  727. Lord's will, but his word is as well.

  728. I said his word is his will And he's not a respecter person, so

  729. feel he'll want to hit them all. If he'll deliver one, he'll

  730. deliver them all. If he'll restore one Hill,

  731. ReStore Mall. What's the difference faith and

  732. the ability to use the king sword in your situation, a

  733. strike, down the enemy. To strike down the enemy are you

  734. hearing me? Jesus has already said I didn't

  735. come to bring peace but a sword. So what I'm going to say it's

  736. got the power and no this that greatest enemy in the planet

  737. today, who has Adams Dominion, who had it, I took it back and

  738. now he's just the father of those that are of his nature and

  739. they don't have to stay that way anymore.

  740. And you can go into the territories of where the enemy

  741. is and you Speak and you can declare and you can decree and

  742. you can send a sword out. That's like your co-workers will

  743. come to work, semen cut. What's wrong with you hurting?

  744. Yeah. What you said yesterday?

  745. Hurt me. Well, swords cut.

  746. Now, I didn't cut you to hurt you.

  747. But we want you to know there's power that can be available to

  748. you and some things need to get off you and you need to change

  749. the way you live and change the whom you're worshipping.

  750. We hold a sword. And this sword has the power.

  751. This is wives Zakaria said this and 46, he said, It's not by

  752. might. Right?

  753. When the word of the Lord came to zerubbabel, he said, not by

  754. might, nor by power, meaning your efforts, pulling out your

  755. sword trying to cut off. To keep God where you want him.

  756. To move God's plan like you want it.

  757. But it's by my spirit says, the Lord of hosts and in my Arsenal,

  758. I only need one weapon, only need one.

  759. This is sort of the spirit. It's the sword of the spirit.

  760. It is the weapon that causes me to conquer in life.

  761. Any circumstance, any situation? I concur Because I say, what

  762. does the word say? I hear what's coming down range.

  763. But what's the word, I just stand right here.

  764. What's the word say? What's the word say?

  765. I said what's the word soon? Because you understand as long

  766. as the enemy stays all the way into mountain and just shooting

  767. the arrows. As long as I don't get out from

  768. behind my shield, there's no problem here, right?

  769. At the end of the day, my head's protected because I have the

  770. helmet of salvation. I'm a Child of God, man, you

  771. can't hurt me anymore. I mean, my shield of faith is

  772. going to be impenetrable. You won't even get to my

  773. righteousness. You're not going to touch my

  774. truth. You're not going to hinder my

  775. peace, you're not going to mess with my head.

  776. Right? The reason why many people are

  777. having two heads mess with because they got a shield of

  778. Faith down and they're getting Being penetrated his hitting

  779. their helmet. You understand enough weapon

  780. enough shots come down range in knock your helmet off.

  781. I mean Kevlar helmets are only so good for so long.

  782. I mean you start taking direct hits constantly.

  783. That'd be a problem and some caliber bullets will it'll

  784. penetrate Yeah, it will. And you stand there, and just

  785. take it in your chest. Keep taking it, keep taking it.

  786. Then eventually, you'll question your own righteousness, and you

  787. keep taking it in the loins. You're going to eventually bend

  788. over And be hurting and then be questioning truth and he'll

  789. knock your feet out from underneath you.

  790. And your life will be in chaos. But the shield of faith, And all

  791. the. While the reason I'm standing

  792. I'm like, I just want him to think he could get closer.

  793. Oh, y'all don't hear that. Okay, see your light.

  794. All I want him to stay away. I want him to think he's

  795. winning. What do I mean by that?

  796. He's not hit me, my face, got it going on, he's going down but

  797. you understand. He don't see me moving.

  798. He sees me. He's like oh I got him down.

  799. I got him now. I got him now and he keeps

  800. pulling. I got him now.

  801. I got him now and he just keeps advancing.

  802. I got him now. This is what your tax look like.

  803. I got them now. I got Anakin don't.

  804. You know just before Victory. It seems like he gets more

  805. pressure is harder and he just keeps shooting.

  806. He gets closer, he gets closer and he gets close and he gets

  807. right up to your Shield of Faith thinking.

  808. You're just this scared little soldier.

  809. Stuck behind your shield quivery and say.

  810. Oh God, please do something. But what he don't know is when

  811. he gets up to it you step out with a sword cut his head off

  812. Sounds waiting on you. You were dumb enough to get

  813. close. You should have stayed on the

  814. mountain. I said you should have stayed on

  815. the mountain, are you hearing me?

  816. And then I just take that sword and I'll wipe off my shield.

  817. All those flaming missiles that have been extinguished.

  818. Just cut them all off. Fresh new, get a new Shield of

  819. Faith up for the next battle. Let's go, what's next?

  820. Now I'm going to advance, I said now I'm going to advance.

  821. I said, now I'm going to advance and this is what the church

  822. should be looking. Like we should be a, boom taking

  823. territory. Let's go into the next one.

  824. Boom, taking territory. Let's go into the next one.

  825. Boom, taking territory because when it says, the Gates of Hell

  826. cannot Prevail against the church, that means the gates of

  827. hell are in a May in a small little town that we are

  828. surrounding. Not that we're inside this

  829. place, and it's attacking us from the outside.

  830. We're on the outside, attacking it.

  831. You got to understand the church is on the outside of planet

  832. Earth. If we go into communities, it's

  833. not because we're on the little inside this little church and

  834. look how the whole communities, that that, you know, nowhere

  835. outside the city in the realm of the spirit.

  836. And they're the ones locked in, and we are putting up our seeds

  837. on them and we're bringing our advancement.

  838. And when they're firing their archers weapons at us as we get

  839. closer to the gates, that eventually will breathe.

  840. John and will save people's lives.

  841. The church is not a defensive weapon.

  842. It isn't a pensive not you're offended but we're on the

  843. offense. but the enemy Has told too many churches, that the

  844. spirit, don't let the spirit move now.

  845. And we don't talk about the Holy Ghost.

  846. And so he disarms them. They have nothing to fight with.

  847. And he can get his closest to their faith as he wants to and

  848. he can kick their shield down because they'll never come back

  849. with a sword. But not in this house.

  850. I said not in this house. In this house, we have a sword.

  851. I said we have a sword. It is the word of God.

  852. He does the word of Truth and it prevails and it always prevails

  853. and it never fails. How did you get that sword?

  854. Because Jesus brought to the Earth. he said, Peter if you

  855. live by the sword, you're going to die by the sword.

  856. I'm going to do, Dad's will Because it allows me to take my

  857. sword. Jesus said he that sore back.

  858. Jesus is saying I should have brought my big, big sword, but

  859. Jesus saying, when I finish this plan that Dad has and I raised

  860. up on the third day then, on the day of Pentecost, On the day of

  861. Pentecost. I'm going to hand you, my sword.

  862. I'm gonna hand you my sword because it's to your advantage

  863. that I go. So I can give you my sword.

  864. And then you can wield that sword, you can concur with that

  865. sword. You will run with that sword.

  866. You can fight with that sword. You can take territory because

  867. he died and he rose to give us a king sword.

  868. What if head bowed every eye closed on was looking around?

  869. You here today and you've never made Jesus the Lord of your

  870. life. Today, be a good day. because

  871. the reality is, your sword is just not sharp enough.

  872. It may get some natural battles and deceive you into thinking,

  873. you're powerful. But the reality is is snow

  874. weapon compared to the sword of God.

  875. And the king of all glory. Jesus Christ wants to give you

  876. his sword, he wants you to be born of his kingdom, and he

  877. wants you to have his spirit. So you can know his word and

  878. have his sword. And no matter what you've ever

  879. faced in life, it won't matter now because you will have the

  880. weapon that defeats it, all you will be on the offensive.

  881. You won't have to defend, you'll just occupy and take territory.
